Nov 16 - Gaza Prayer

As I watch live coverage of the genocide in Gaza each day, and each day hear the people of Gaza cry out "why is no one helping us?" ... and see how the US is giving an ever-larger green light to Israel to increase the killings ... I ask myself "what more can I do to try to stop the slaughter?". Well, in his letter for World Day of the Poor (Nov 17), Pope Francis asked us to pray for the poor. So, I am now praying not just ordinary prayers for Gaza, but also this extraordinary prayer:

Heavenly Father, you who are most grieved when your children kill each other, in order to stop the genocide in Gaza please send a temporary illness on the Israeli military and political leadership to stop them from murdering the 400,000 people trapped in Northern Gaza without food or medical supplies. Temporary blindness? Boils and sores? Loss of sight, speech, hearing? Powerful anxiety attacks? 
.... I make this prayer in the name of your dear Son who once walked the land of Gaza and who said to ask for anything in his name. Amen! 
(... and please protect all who pray this prayer so that there is no reverse curse on us!)
